De Lima UNDER SEVERE STRESS, could SNAP any time soon

De Lima to Duterte: Arrest me now!

Senator Leila de Lima dared President Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday to immediately arrest her amid continued allegations linking her to the Bilibid drug trade.

In a hastily called press conference at the Senate, De Lima decried insinuations that the violent riot inside the New Bilibid Prison (NBP) that left one high-profile inmate dead and three others injured, including convicted criminal Jaybee Sebastian, could be her handiwork.

(That’s enough. INyour desperation, Mr. President, to take a dig at me, you no longer consider your image in the eyes of the country and of the world. You are the one being laughed at, not me. I am innocent.

Enough. Who will you persecute next? Who will you make stories on?)

De Lima said her former staff and officials had been telling her that they were being approached to speak against her.

“And I feel so helpless. I cant help them with lawyers dahil kung papadalahan ko sila ng lawyers sasabihin nila ayan kasi popoprotektahan (because if I send them lawyers they will say it’s because they’re being protected)…What I’m supposed to do now? Tell me,” she asked.

(Why should I do that? I wan to fight here in our country! I’m not a coward because I did no wrong. Only those who have something to hide and are cowards back down. Not Leila de Lima, I was not raised to be a coward.) CDG
